Hi,



I am a very new ASW-20 user (first flight yesterday) I am looking for any advice for the glider such as:



Speeds to cruise/climb,

Water; does it fly well? How does it change speed range especially in the climb,

Read a few things about thermalling in neutral flap rather than +1, any thoughts?

Anything else relevant.



I am most interested in speeds to fly, I think in general I always fly a bit slow, I also realise that there is no definitive answer, but a range for different conditions would be useful.



Thanks in advance for advice!

Maybe the most important thing on an ASW 20 is to always remember to hook up the elevator on assembly. I watched the result of not doing so once, and it was not pretty.
